• Personality Parade recently addressed the fact that the ladies of the CSI franchise often show off their cleavage during episodes. "You don't really think we dress ourselves, do you?" asked CSI: Miami star Emily Procter (Calleigh Duquesne).

  It's a character-based series, not just high action-packed drama - it's both. The audience will be very engaged because of the broad issues it covers like terrorism, money-laundering, organ trafficking. But even though it's entertainment, the show really raises awareness on certain human rights issues and asks some really difficult questions.

We just do our scientific thing -- either the evidence is there or it's not."

Dailey is scheduled to perform at the Lizard Lounge in Cambridge, Massachusetts on January 12.
